How to Recover Deleted Files From a BitLocker-Encrypted Partition in Windows 7 with Hasleo Data Recovery?

Step 1: Choose BitLocker Data Recovery

Download, install, and run Hasleo Data Recovery. On the main interface, you'll see several recovery options. Please select BitLocker Data Recovery mode.

Step 2: Select the partition to Scan

1. Select the partition where you accidentally deleted or lost your files, then click "Scan" to begin searching for recoverable data.

2. A pop-up window will appear asking you to enter the BitLocker password or 48-digit BitLocker recovery key. If you don't want to enter the password or BitLocker recovery key here, just click the "Skip" button to skip it.

3. Hasleo Data Recovery will display all detected BitLocker-encrypted partitions on the target device. If you provided the password or BitLocker recovery key in the previous step, the password status will show whether they match the partition.

4. Double-click the BitLocker-encrypted partition from which you want to recover data. If you have previously entered the password or BitLocker recovery key and it matches, Hasleo Data Recovery will begin scanning for lost files immediately. If no matching credentials are found, a pop-up window will appear asking you to enter the password or recovery key. After entering it, click "OK". The software will then verify the key and start scanning if it matches.

Step 3: Preview and Recover Deleted Files

Hasleo Data Recovery will display a list of found files. You can preview them by path or file type. Select the files you want to recover and click "Recover" to save them. If some files are missing, click "Deep Scan" to start the Deep Scan Recovery process. This takes more time but can recover significantly more lost data.

Important Notes:

1. You must enter the correct Bitlocker password or the 48-digit Bitlocker recovery key to successfully recover data from a BitLocker-encrypted drive.
2. If the metadata area of a BitLocker-encrypted drive is severely corrupted, data recovery from that partition may fail—even with the correct password or recovery key.
3. Do not save recovered files to the original partition where the lost data was stored. This prevents the data from being overwritten.
4. You can export or save the scan results for later use or future recovery sessions.
